I was given a pair of Peterson speakers a few years ago (not sure the model number):
The rubber around the woofers is seriously disintegrating:
Is it worth repairing them or would I be better off getting some new speakers altogether? I'll be buying an HDTV at the end of the year and want to set up a 5.1 system. My intention was to pair the Petersons with a centre speaker, sub and two ceiling-mounted rears, however I may well be better off getting new fronts altogether.
